This is a space I'm using to play with HTML, so just look on past. :P
La la la la la
Ok that was uneventful. that was actually the same thing as the bold option, but I got it by going STRONG and /STRONG
hmm.
Don't Blink
Ok, that did nothing. despite the dubious description of:
Blinks the contents. This effect is hated and despied by many with a passion usually reserved for infernal spirits and axe-murderers.
edit
Ok, it did do something and it was horrid so I came back and removed the code. ech.
sweet. I have found my button making experience rewarding!
SCORE!
I don't care that it doesn't take you anywhere.
Ok, that's a link, but its not taking me anywhere, there must be a piece of the puzzle i'm missing.
Ok. Not five minutes into playing with my new toy.. I crash my computer.

It's a bloody conspiracy!!!!!!
The blink option, which If I can convince you guys to NEVER try, DONT do it.
It scrambled a few things on my stupid entry. It turned a whole entry into a button.
blink my ass.
scramble.
at least title the fucking thing right.
That option was made for pandoras like me. ooh... what's this? pretty little box?
hmmm? let's open it.
next thing you know... REBOOT.
I had to get on John's computer just to access my log. And then I had to click 'view source' to get the link to the updating page just so that I could try and fix the problem.
I am not thwarted. I will continue to wreak havoc upon html.
"Now you will receive us!"
So, I rebooted and I was like, wtf? I have broke my blog. How did i do this. I don't want to whine to Pipsie to help me.
AIIII
I am quite proud of myself for figuring out the problem.
I still rock.
:P
In your face Technology. :P :P :P
Posted by hawkie at November 8, 2003 09:41 AMYou know, I have NEVER been able to get that blink feature to work.
I have a friend who designs websites, so he's all Mr. HTML/XML and even he can't get the blink feature to work.
I think the blink feature is an urban legend. It doesn't really exist, but people like to talk about it like it does/did.
Don't do it. I can gaurantee that I had no desire to make something work that didn't work for other people. Just thought that 'blink' looked like a cool option. I was wrong.
very
very very
wrong
no urban legend.
it was a residual thing. it didn't do anything at first. If you note my first note about it. But the more I played with html and kept submitting things again and again on the same blog entry, the goofier it got.
it turned my first entry today into a button. i kid you not. the whole entry was a button.
imagine that.
egh.
i still feel pretty dominant over the technology today.
go me.

Blink doesn't work with IE. Supposedly it only works with Netscape.
Good thing it exists, then, right? ;)
